Supervising Social Worker

Career progression opportunities | Longstanding Senior Management | Hybrid | Part‑time 30 hours | Flexible Working

Tired of working in a role where you're bogged down with too many cases, and want to transition into an IFA that truly values and supports its social workers?

We're currently working with a highly rated IFA based in Ivybridge, Devon, looking for an experienced practitioner to join their established service as a Supervising Social Worker.

This role is part‑time - 30 hours per week.

As a supervising social worker, you will be responsible for supporting and managing approved foster carers, assessing special guardians, ensuring support plans are in place, and working with children’s social workers to achieve permanence, either through long‑term fostering or special guardianship.

Benefits include a competitive salary of up to £41,000 (pro‑rata), a hybrid working pattern, and the managers are open to discussions on flexible working arrangements, including opportunities for condensed hours to maintain a healthy work‑life balance.

The IFA has great staff retention, with vacancies in the service a rarity. They focus on professional development and promote from within the service to seniority. You will also be enrolled onto an L&D programme immediately when you start, ensuring you're ready for career progression within the first year if you wish.

For this role, you do require a social work qualification and registration with Social Work England.
